Wrong Turn: Final Chapter (2025) brings the long-running horror franchise to a climactic and blood-soaked conclusion. This installment promises a thrilling, high-stakes story that ties together the loose ends of previous films while introducing fresh terror and a sense of finality.
Set years after the events of the original Wrong Turn movies, the film follows a group of hikers who embark on a trip deep into the Appalachian wilderness. Unbeknownst to them, the region has been marked by decades of brutal killings orchestrated by the infamous inbred cannibal clan that terrorized earlier victims. While the locals warn the hikers to stay on established trails, the group ignores the advice, seeking adventure in the uncharted forests.
Among the hikers is Emma, a survivalist and investigative journalist who has a hidden agenda. She’s researching the legends surrounding the area and believes there’s a larger story behind the “wrong turn” killings. Emma’s determination to uncover the truth leads the group deeper into the forest, where they stumble upon a forgotten settlement. This seemingly abandoned village is the home of the remaining cannibal family members, now more vicious and cunning than ever.
The cannibals, led by the aging yet still terrifying patriarch Three Finger, have evolved their tactics. Using traps, ambushes, and psychological manipulation, they pick off the hikers one by one. The forest becomes a deadly labyrinth as the group struggles to survive, with the remaining members growing increasingly paranoid and desperate.
Emma’s investigation uncovers disturbing secrets about the clan’s origins, revealing that their violence stems from a mix of isolation, a twisted survival instinct, and a dark history tied to the land. As the body count rises, Emma realizes that to survive, she must confront her own fears and use her survival skills to outsmart the cannibals.
The film builds toward an intense final showdown in the heart of the forest, where Emma faces Three Finger in a battle of wits and will. The ending delivers a mix of shocking revelations and poetic justice, providing a grim yet satisfying resolution to the franchise.
With relentless tension, brutal kills, and nods to the original Wrong Turn films, Final Chapter cements itself as a fitting conclusion to the horror saga, leaving fans both terrified and fulfilled.
